Snooker 19 is out on PS4 and Xbox One, release date is 16th April 2019, there hasn't been a snooker game on a console for a long time. I remember having World Snooker Championship 2002 and 2004 on PS2 and last one I played was World Snooker Championship Snooker 2007 on Xbox 360.
I'm not sure how many gamers here are fans of Snooker but I am really looking forward to this one, the graphics however don't look great though, I hope maybe that is something they have worked on but I feel rest of gameplay and everything looks very appealing for Snooker fans like me to appreciate.
Here is a trailer:

I remember when snooker was massive,Snooker halls were everywhere And how I nearly killed a canary, when Dennis Taylor beat Steve Davies in the world final in the final fame, with the final ball.
Unfortunately TV saw it as easy money and oversatuated the channels with snooker tournament after snooker tournament, eventually people grew bored and switched off in droves. so not surprised we don't see too many games like this.
i would probably give it a go, but can't imagine I would buy it new.

I do enjoy a snooker game , usually get them free of the app stores.

That looks like a PS2 game. It shouldn't matter too much if the physics are perfect, but it's astonishing that anyone could release such an ugly game in 2019. The head models had about 4 polygons.
Used to love snooker but I've not watched it in a while. Along with generally watching less TV, O'Sullivan has just ruined the sport for me. Really wish he'd retire permanently so it can go back to being watchable.

I used to love snooker games, and with the current gen you'd think they could make such a simple looking game brilliantly realistic in 4k etc.
Graphics are terrible on that, disappointed.
